The Little Battlers Will Be Released A Little Later

Level-5 delayed their plastic model crafting RPG again. The Little Battlers, which was originally slated for release last year moved to March 17, 2011. Now, the PSP game’s release date is May 26.

A statement from the developer explained in order to cram in everything they first planned to make the game interesting they need extra time. To make sure the quality doesn’t drop and to have a game that satisfies everyone (kids & adults) The Little Batters was bumped to May 17.

So far, The Little Battlers has not been announced for release outside of Japan at this time. While Sony Computer Entertainment America released several Level-5 developed titles all of those were Sony owned intellectual properties.

It’s a customizable robot-action game, like Medarot and Custom Robo, but with gameplay more like Gotcha Force. It’s also part of a planned multimedia franchise including an anime and a line of model kits (you get a model kit with the game, too!).

I really hope it gets localized, myself.

some people have also broken it down to an Pokemon game but with customization

Level-5 makes a lot of really interesting games. I hope the rest of the Inazuma Eleven games are localized soon.

I wonder if this game will have a demo…I would really like to try it.

On a more serious note, this does seem like a VERY interesting concept. But I will wait and see how it turns out first.

Dammit, the more it’s delayed the longer it will take the west to recieve it :( (I’m confident we will be getting it :D)
